Micro LED contact lens display: ushering in a new era of eye wearable devices

Today, as technology changes rapidly, people's pursuit of wearable devices is no longer limited to traditional watches, bracelets and other forms, but is turning their attention to eye wearable displays that are closer to the human body and are more powerful and convenient. field. With the rapid development of related technologies, especially the continuous breakthroughs of Micro LED technology, this field is ushering in an unprecedented wave of innovation. A series of eye-catching new products and technologies have emerged one after another, showing us a future full of infinite possibilities.

According to a detailed report by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on December 20, Yasuhiro Takagi, a professor at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and Shinichi Company jointly developed a Micro LED display that can be worn directly on the cornea of the eye. This achievement is like a shining star, shining in the sky of eye wearable devices. This display is small and exquisite, just a transparent round object that can be placed on your fingertips, but the technological power it contains cannot be underestimated. When the user focuses his eyes on it carefully after wearing it, up to 500 words of English will clearly appear in front of his eyes, as if opening a convenient door to knowledge and information.
At the same time, as early as 2021, AR developer Mojo Vision has bravely embarked on the exploration of embedding Micro LED screens into contact lenses and named it MojoLens. The core device of this innovative product is a 0.48mm, 14000PPI single green Micro LED micro display. Through exquisite retinal projection technology, light is accurately concentrated and projected on the fovea on the retina, making full use of the brain's visual information acquisition. Features, while ensuring the display effect and achieving low-power operation. According to official news, this Micro LED AR contact lens has successfully completed eye testing in July 2022, laying a solid foundation for subsequent product optimization and marketing.
In October this year, JBD and Xpanceo also officially announced the establishment of a strategic partnership to jointly work on the development of a new generation of AR smart contact lenses. The two sides are actively exploring multiple technology integration methods, including the combination of projectors and holograms and the use of integrated micro displays, aiming to perfectly integrate JBD's Micro LED display into Xpanceo's smart contact lenses. At present, they have successfully created a working prototype and achieved a technical breakthrough with a total lens thickness of less than 0.5 mm, taking another big step towards the final implementation of the product.

The emergence of these Micro LED contact lens displays is not only a technological innovation, but also a profound change in the way people live and work. From the perspective of consumer electronics, it will provide users with a more immersive entertainment experience. Whether it is watching high-definition videos, playing games or browsing social media, it will become more convenient and personalized; in the medical field, doctors can use it to obtain real-time patient information, provide remote diagnosis and surgical guidance, and improve medical efficiency and accuracy; In the industrial field, workers can use it to receive complex operating instructions and equipment parameters to achieve intelligent production operations and reduce error rates.
Looking to the future, with the continuous improvement of relevant basic technologies and the continuous advancement of production technology, we have reason to believe that Micro LED contact lens displays will gradually mature and become popular. The R & D team will also continue to work closely with equipment manufacturers and other parties to continuously optimize product performance, expand application scenarios, and overcome many challenges currently faced such as wearing comfort, the impact of long-term use on eyes, and production costs. I believe that in the near future, this innovative product will become an indispensable part of people's lives like smartphones, leading us into a new era of eye wearable devices and adding more colorful chapters to human technological life., promoting the entire society to make great strides on the road of intelligence and convenience.
